Recovery Manager (RMAN) :: Restore From Full Backup While Incremental Lvl 0 Available
Sep 10, 20127 of days ago Full backup has been taken to disk due to issues with tape devices.3 days ago tape devices have been fixed and we switched to CommVault managed tape backups. CommVault calls RMAN with following command:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/bin/simpana/Base/libobk.so,BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(CV_mmsApiVsn=2,CV_channelPar=ch1,ThreadCommandLine=BACKUP -jm 45 -a 2:71 -cl 9 -ins 9 -at 22 -j 294321 -jt 294321:4:1 -bal 1 -rcp 0 -ms 1 -data -ma 89 -cn oraclehost -vm Instance001)"
TRACE 0;
setlimit channel ch1 maxopenfiles 8;
backup
incremental level = 0
filesperset = 32
database
include current controlfile spfile ;
}
exit;
These backups done successfully.Then archivelog backup taken similar way.But when I issue RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY; RMAN starts with Full backup set, though newer Incremental Level 0 ones are available.Why it does not use these newer ones?

Recovery Manager (RMAN) :: Information For List And Restore Command
May 15, 2013Version 11.2.0.1
Control file record time = 7 days
I am not using recovery catalog
RMAN> list archivelog all;
It shows archivelogs from logsequence 179 - 206
But on my o.s I have archivelogs from log sequence 104 - 206 (I have not deleted them for long 1 month). It is not showing form 104 - 178. Since control file record time is 7 days it doesnt keep old archivelogs history.(i.e from 104-206) Hence it is showing only from 179 - 206
My question is
1)If we use rman recovery catalog will these info is maintained forever until deleted. And can i see them in list command. (i.e from 104-206)
2)If i use rman catalog then from where did rman get the information of archives and backup (for list and restore command) from catalog or from control file.

Feb 27, 2013I have two Solaris 5.11 x86 64 bit servers. I need to be able to copy the backup files to a temp location on the 2nd server and restore that server so it is a test version of the first server. There is no RMAN catalog, I simply want to backup on A move to B restore from files copied to b.
On the first server installed Oracle Enterprise 11.2.0.3. sid = orcl. i created one schema with a new table space added a table and inserted 500,000 rows.
i set the db to archivelog=on, set configure controlfile autobackup on
i then did RMAN backup as backupset database spfile;
on the second server, i installed Oracle Enterprise 11.2.03, sid=orcl exactly like i did on the first server.i scp'd all of the files created by the backup to one location on the test server. i renamed spfileorcl.ora in dbs to somethinge else. startup nomount, exit and go to rman and run this:
DUPLICATE DATABASE TO 'orcl' SPFILE BACKUP LOCATION '/tmp/backups' NOFILENAMECHECK;
this runs for a while and looks like it works but eventually fails with :
RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database
subsequent attempts to 'startup' the database receive the error ORA-19838: Cannot use this control file to open database.
This is very frustrating. I have gone over all of the manuals, documentation and more but there is no 'step by step' process that i can find that is current with my version of Oracle that documents the steps necessary to simply backup a db, move it to a test server to a disk and then restore that test server as a copy of the first server.

Backup & Recovery :: Rman Restore On New Server - Set Newname Not Working?
Feb 14, 2012I am trying to restore a backup from a live server to a dev server. Have moved nackup sets. Created a windows service to match the old sid on live system. copied the pfile from live and changed the locations of the folders to suit dev. set oracle_sid to the new sid(as created to match live)
connected to rman
startup nomount
set dbid to the live number
restore controlfile
alter database mount
catalog'd all the backupsets
[code]....
but it fails when it tries the restore .. see below ..The path it is showing is the old path from the live server, so it appears to eb ignoring my set newname statements even though they succeeded earlier - should be restoring them to d:oracleoradatasun43dev ? Does the whole thing have to be put inside one run block or can I put bits in one run block and other bits outside of it etc?

I am new to Oracle, like to get clarified on below;
1. From where can we run the RMAN Clone script?
Source DB : PRDDB HOST: PRDHOST
Destination DB: DUPDB HOST: DEVHOST
Are there any constraints on running the RMAN Script from the Source DB Host - PRDHOST?
If I am running it from PRDHOST, do I have to have the initdupdb.ora available on PRDHOST?
What are advantages and disadvantages on running the script on Source & Destination Host?
Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Restore / Recovery To Previous Cold Backups
Aug 13, 2013My scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried:
startup mount
restore database from tag 'DLYTUE'
recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE'
( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.
Backup & Recovery :: Finding Rman Restore And Recovery Process?
Feb 7, 2011I have a doubt regarding the process the RMAN follows for restore and recovery of the database.
My Level 0 full backup completes on Saturdays at around 11 am after taking 8 hours (It starts at 3am).On Sunday, I ask RMAN to restore (on a different box) till Saturday 11:30 am.Then, after the restore is successful, I recover it till 11:45 am.
The recovery also goes fine and Iam able to clone to test box.
Till what time is the database restored? I assume its till 11 am since the L0 backup finishes at 11 am though I have asked it to restore till 11:30 am
During the recovery, ONLY the archives generated between Saturday 3 am and till the time i asked for recovery (Saturday 11:45 am ) are required. But, checking the recovery log file, i was surprised to see that RMAN has restored archive files starting from Friday 9:30 pm (Much before the time the Level 0 backup even started).
why does RMAN require the old archive log files.
Backup & Recovery :: RAC - RMAN Restore And Recovery To New Hosts?
Mar 13, 20121. My RAC (old RAC) had got a failures from one node, then there was only one existing node now.
2. I configured a RAC (new RAC) on 2 other servers, both of them (old-RAC and new-RAC) has got same OS version, platform and Oracle version release.
3. I took a full backup yesterday plus archivelog in the node of old-Rac, configure NFS in new-Rac to make the backup within remote-share NFS.
The only problem still now that I've restore/recovery/duplicated single instance, not Rac. So, may you guide me to do it?
Information:
Old-Rac & New-Rac:
+ Cluster 11g: CFS
+ Database: 2 nodes with same instance name (cbs1-cbs2)
+ Location for CRS_HOME and ORACLE_HOME: Same to be.
+ Location of archivelog: Same to be (+ARCHIVE)
Backup & Recovery :: Restore RMAN Backup In New Server / Got Error 06172
Jun 21, 2011We are using Oracle 10g R2 in Windows Server 2003. I'm trying to restore a database in a new server, using RMAN backups.
Our external consultant configured RMAN scripts for full and incremental backups but never tested them . Since he just doesn't show up, I'm forced to tested them, restoring the whole database in a new server.
My instance is named MTDPROD, and I will create all from scratch.
At current server, RMAN files are generated in:
//192.168.1.149/g$/XXXSRV4-ArcLogs/MTDPROD/RMAN
At new server, I run all these commands:
C:>oradim -new -sid MTDPROD -intpwd mtdprod
Instance created
-- I created the relevant folder hierarchy under <ORACLE_BASE>
directory
-- Then, I created the relevant directories for Oracle Database, as
follows:
--a. Create BDUMP, CDUMP, and UDUMP directories under '<ORACLE_ BASE>
[code]....
By instance, I see a lot of this kind of files:
- FULL_MTDPROD_20110529_386_1.BAK
- INCR_MTDPROD_20110621_480_7.BAK
And only see these two files:
- C-2169285856-20110527-03
- C-2169285856-20110527-04
It seems that this C-2169285856-.... files only were on 27/05/2011 and then no more. However, the FULL_... and INCR_.. files are generated every day. The FULL is generated at the end of each month and INCR is generated every day.
This is the backfull.sql:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize=4G;
CROSSCHECK archivelog all;

Backup & Recovery :: Restore Rman Backup On New Server As Different Name Sid / Service / Listener
Feb 13, 2012I am attempting to use an rman backup form our live server to restore live data over an existing dev database with a different name. I cant use the duplicate command as the versions of oracle are different (10.2.0.4 EE on live, 10.2.0.5 SE on dev) So I copied the backup sets including an autobackup control file onto the dev server. I set the ORACLE_SID to the DEV version (SUN43DEV) and startup nomount and restore controlfile from the backup location. This works and restored the live controlfile. However, I then wanted to mount the database and catalog the backupsets before making a note of the last archivelog etc and restoring the backup with set newname options. But when I try to mount the database I am told that the database has a different name (SUN43 is not SUN43DEV). I read somewhere that I need to set the ORACLE_SID to the live value (SUN43) and restore as that, then use nid TO RESET THE DBID and DATABASE NAME. However, my tnsnames on DEV has no entry for the live database, and we do not have any service defined through ORADIM for the live instance on the dev server. Should I be creating an entry in DEV tnsnames that actually looks at the LIVE server? or do I need to create a service and tns entry etc for SUN43 on my DEV server pointing at the DEV server I have not seen any mention in instructions of creating a service or adding the entry to tnsnames, or indeed adding an entry to the listener for the original live sid. I am worried that if I actually point to the live server then the restore would be attempted on the live server not dev even though I am running it from Dev.
Also, do I need to drop the existing database on DEV before I restore or will RMAN just restore over the top of it?
Finally, if I try to add an entry to the LISTENER.ORA for the new sid, when I stop and start the listener, or reload, the entry is not recognised. I also noticed that the existing SUN43DEV entry is not in there either, yet I can still use that SID - I am assuming that is because the listener is not being used and the sid is recognised from the existence of the service in windows services instead?
Recovery Manager (RMAN) :: Recovery Catalog Option On Separate Database

RMAN :: Restore / Recovery From Snapshot Faster?
Aug 8, 2012Version : 11.2 on Solaris, AIX
All our production DBs are backed up by some Hitachi tool (apparently it is called ShadowImage) . Apparently they put all the tablespaces in Backup mode and 'take a snap' . Our BAU team says this is faster.
On an event of DB Crash Is it easier to restore, recover from these 'snapshots' ? Are these snapshots much faster than RMAN ?
RMAN :: Point In Time Recovery Using Restore?
Aug 30, 2012Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.2.RAC and Host RHEL 5.6
My dev application team iwant to test their application, and once that is done they want to recover to point in time. In my case they would do that after 9.0Am and once that is done they want the state of the database back to 9.0Am
What i am planning to do is:create a restore point at 9.0Am and once application testing is done recover until restore point. ..But i was suggested not to do that way instead my Lead want me to use just recover until timestampI asked what is the difference in doing in my way,the answer i got is by using recover until restore point, the recover process cannot apply incremental level 1 backups and it just restores to a point of incremental level 0, it looked strange to me.
